Brighton, Seaside resort city in East Sussex, England

Brighton extends along 8.7 kilometers of shingle beaches, with restaurants, entertainment venues, and the Palace Pier stretching into the English Channel.

The settlement, originally named Brighthelmstone in the Domesday Book of 1086, transformed from a fishing village into a fashionable resort during the 18th century.

The Royal Pavilion, built for King George IV, combines Indian exterior architecture with Chinese interior design elements across its many rooms and galleries.

Located 76 kilometers south of London, Brighton connects to the capital through regular train services from London Bridge and Victoria stations in 50 minutes.

The city maintains numerous Georgian and Victorian buildings along the seafront, including Adelaide Crescent and Brunswick Square, reflecting its royal heritage.
